"My Uncle has been single for decades, and you can tell he's a man who prefers to be lacking rather than to settle for less. He's been picky all these years, and when he met you, he fell right under your skirt. Doesn't that prove you're better than any woman he's ever met?"

Scarlett Glenn took Mrs. Herd's hand, "Mum, never belittle yourself, never feel inferior. You are better than anyone."
"I'm not telling you this to get you to accept my uncle. I just want to tell you that you are a very exceptional person, no less than anyone else. You need to have confidence."

Although she had been quite happy, deep down, she still felt like a complete failure in her marriage.
Facing someone as outstanding as Anthony Davis, she never thought he would like her. She would always reject the possibility internally first.
